Examples

Example 1

You have 1500 farmers and 500 workers on your Island. Farmers provide you with 1500 coins of income and the workers with 1000 coins. 13% royal taxes will be deducted from your farmers' income, which is 13% × 1500 = 195 coins.

Example 2

You have 6000 farmers on your island. Farmers provide you with 6000 coins of income. 40% royal taxes will be deducted from this, which is 40% × 6000 = 2400 coins.

If instead you have 2 islands each with 3000 farmers, you still get the same income but the taxes are 25% on each island, costing you 1500 coins in total. So getting a second island saves you 900 coins.

If instead you have 3 islands each with 2000 farmers, you still get the same income but the taxes are only 17% on each island, costing you 1020 coins in total. So getting a third island saves you another 480 coins.

Example 3

You have 2000 farmers and 3000 workers on one island. Farmers provide you with 2000 income and workers with 4500 income. Tax rate for farmers is 17%, so royal taxes from farmers tier are 17% × 2000 = 340 coins. Tax rate for workers is 25%, so royal taxes from workers tier are 25% × 4500 = 1125 coins. Taxes from each tier are calculated separately and then added, in the end you pay 340 + 1125 = 1465 coins of royal taxes per minute.
